In the 1st longitudinal prospective study ever, wall shear stress by 4D #WhyCMR predicted co-localised progressive ascending aorta dilation rate in patients with non-dysfunctional #bicuspid aortic valve. Brief 🧵summarising the findings. From @jaccjournals jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Pts with #Marfan or #Loeys-Dietz syndrome who underwent root replacement are at high risk of distal aortic events, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. In this prospective study including pre- and post-#4Dflow #WhyCMR valve-sparing root replacement partially restores.. (1/3)

Aortic diameter and its growth are key for the clinical management of aortic aneurysms

Guideline-recommended method is subjective, poorly reproducible, and time-consuming

We presented an innovative image analysis method substantially outperforming current standard
#whycmr

False lumen thrombus presence and extent in chronic aortic dissection of the descending aorta is related to local flow characteristics, particularly blood kinetic energy. This non-invasive measure may be important to personalize patient management. Read @

A fantastic animation on the use of vascular ageing measures in clinical practice by @RIVAIllustrati1 for @VascAgeNet @COSTprogramme . Also available with Spanish subtitles! Enjoy and spread!
